    2) On average, How much time do you spend per day?

    lol "dollaraire" - that's cute. :)

    I spend 12-15 hours a day, 5-7 days a week between my PR firm (run almost entirely online now) and my freelance writing and editing (also almost completely for online clients). My PR firm IS my day job, so I don't keep another one. :) I didn't personally ease into it either. I was working for a huge international non-profit agency a few years ago. I simply got sick of the politics, set up my business in a legal sense, and quit. I've got incredibly low overhead, and I don't think I've ever spent a dime marketing myself (a perk of being a marketing / PR pro). ;) My only expenses are actually my domains and hosting (maybe $300-400 per year), any travel when I go to shows (music publicity is still a big part of my work - even though I do the work online with clients mostly, I do still scout new talent in person before I agree to take them on), occasional entertainment costs at shows (I usually get in for free anyway though), and basic office expenses like paper, ink, and postage. My costs are pretty miniscule. I think that's probably the most important thing as far as my own work online goes, and leaves me a much bigger profit margin than I'd otherwise have.

    Thanks...
    Looks like I have to go back to a day job and do online stuff part-time.
    Still don't regret sacking the boss though, haha :D
